mja Records is an independent American record label specializing in jazz and blues, based in New York, USA. The label's official website identifies it as "mja Records - New York - USA" and presents the mja logo as a trademark of mja Records. Its catalog centers on recordings led by guitarist Mike Armando, including releases such as "The Countdown" and "Funk A Lunk In The Moment." These sessions feature a rotating cast of jazz musicians, among them saxophonist and pianist Boris Kurganov, bassists John Lockwood and Andrew Golba, and drummer Ra-Kalam Bob Moses. Audio engineer David J. Sullivan is credited on the label's releases, and the site also carries a review by drummer Artt Frank, who praises Armando's blues playing and Golba's bass work. The label operates in the jazz and blues niche, presenting itself through a dedicated website that highlights new releases, artist credits, and critical commentary. Its contact address is given as mjajazz@optonline.net, and it is associated with the All About Jazz platform. As a small independent imprint, mja Records focuses on documenting Armando's original compositions and collaborations rather than pursuing a broad commercial catalog. Wikidata describes mja Records simply as an "American record label," consistent with the label's own self-description. The label's identity is tied closely to its founder and principal artist, Mike Armando, whose guitar work anchors the releases. Because the label is independently run and does not appear to be part of a larger corporate group, its output is best understood as a personal artistic vehicle within the jazz and blues tradition.
